"Until one week ago I didn't even know what a metro Ethernet
connection was. A telecommunications publication mentioned how
it was going to drastically reduce the price per meg to businesses
who qualified for service (IE: who were lucky enough to reside
in a "Lit Building"). Not knowing if my building here in Provo
had Ethernet available in it, I found ShopforEthernet.com through
Google. After a few minutes I was pleasantly surprised to learn
that it was available, and the knowledgeable consultant who contacted

Can I order Ethernet service online?

How is this tool valuable?

The GeoQuote Ethernet locator is valuable for people or business who are looking to:

substantially upgrade their current broadband connections.

establish a direct relationship with a provider without the local Bell in the equation.

gather information that will be helpful in the planning stages of broadband deployment for a new real-estate development.

find a carrier who provides QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees. Since the carrier you select is in complete control of your connection, it is much easier for them to provide QoS.

move into a building with existing carrier facilities.

Is this lookup tool free?

Yes. We do not require that you pay a fee to access this information - however, we do
require that you purchase service through us if you decide to buy. We are compensated from
the participating carriers when you order through us, which pays for the development and
maintenance of this web site.
